Inspired by a Viking ship and the elegant tension of a harp’s strings, the chair’s dramatic form captures the essence of movement and balance.

Its solid stained ash frame contrasts beautifully with the hand-strung flag halyard, creating both visual rhythm and ergonomic support. Every angle of the chair reveals a different character, from the sweeping arch of the backrest to the dynamic silhouette that feels almost suspended in the air.

The Harp Chair embodies the Danish mastery of combining craft, comfort, and art. Equally at home as a functional seat or as a sculptural centerpiece, it remains a timeless icon of 1960s design, bold, graceful, and undeniably modern.

The chair is in completely original condition, with no restorations. Both the cord and the wooden frame display a beautiful, authentic patina consistent with its age. Please note the traces of use on the cord. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
